What an awesome way to protect your filament and still have it look good. Nice! Looks like something for our Printlab, right?

Haha, this is good
Ahahha, AWESOME idea. Sooo cute!
Gotta make one!!
there is a ironly to 3d printing a case for your 3d printer filament, what’s next 3d printed 3d printer printers (ie a 3d printed printer FOR 3d printers)
Haha, that’s actually old and is exactly what got desktop printing started in the first place --> RepRap
Actually I was talking one more level of abstraction 3D printing the machines that print 3D printers
Great design. As long as there’s room for desiccant in there, I think it will be good for me. Always a problem when you live in a place with high humidity.
Now this is something else! Does it take long to print it? Is it an easy print?
Look nice.
Only problem for me - I have something like 25 spools so it would be a bit much to store these in this way.
Still, VERY cool looking
The Reprap started out with that aim or as mush as possible.
Reprap: A low cost open source rapid prototyping system that is capable of producing its own parts and can therefore be replicated easily.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RepRap_Project
